Mole Mapping: Keeping an Eye on Your Skin’s Health

London Dermatology | 20 May 2025

At Devonshire Dermatology, we understand that early detection is vital when it comes to protecting your skin. Mole mapping is a powerful tool for monitoring changes over time and helping to catch signs of skin cancer as early as possible.

What is Mole Mapping?

Mole mapping begins with a full body skin check. During this thorough examination, every mole and mark is carefully assessed, no matter how small. This detailed approach allows us to identify any changes that could signal a problem, including the early signs of melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.

If you have 50 or more moles, your risk is significantly higher. In these cases, regular mole mapping is even more important.

Why Monitoring Makes a Difference

Moles can evolve over time due to sun exposure or other environmental factors. A mole that once seemed harmless may begin to change in size, shape or colour. These changes are often subtle and may not be noticeable without the help of professional monitoring.

At Devonshire Dermatology, we use advanced imaging technology to capture high-resolution photographs of your moles. These images form your baseline record. Each time you come in for a follow-up, we compare your latest images to your previous ones. This helps us spot even the smallest changes early.

Peace of Mind Through Proactive Care

Some moles may already be showing early warning signs without you realising. Regular mole mapping ensures that any concerns are detected and addressed promptly.

With expert monitoring, you do not have to second-guess whether a mole has changed. You can rely on our specialists to track your skin’s health with precision and care.
